Only GTI and GLI models came with a rear bar. The factory bar is mounted inside the beam axle in the rear, and you can't really see it from underneath. Just find a GTI/GLI at the wrecking yard, and look in the beam axle from the side. You could probably pick one up for next to nothing, since the junk yard dudes probably won't even know what it is. Come to think of it, the factory bars MAY be welded in, so pulling one may require cutting some welds, as well as welding it in on your car. FYI, the factory rear bar isn't going to add too much in the way of roll stiffness - I run Neuspeed 28mm bars in the rear of my GTI's, as well as a 25mm front Neuspeed bar. --Holland Forced Failure Racing Don't Ask MotorSports [email protected] a2_16V List Owner [email protected] San Jose, California _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
